Runners must be prepared for the autumnal weather conditions, because the risk of injuries is much higher in the fall and winter months. My JogStyle offers some advices about what to take care of while running in the autumn.

The summer hasn´t appeared at one´s best this year but you can feel the transition to fall quite significantly. The days are getting shorter, the air is foggy and leaves cover the ground. In addition to this kind of weather, rain can be very dangerous for runners and joggers. Wet leaves are often like a slippery surface on which you can slip very quickly. Sprains, bruises and even broken bones are common during the cold seasons due to an outdoor sport.
The most important thing for a successful run in the fall is the right footwear. The soles should have a sufficient profile to guarantee a good grip on uneven ground. Shoes which protect the feet from water and keep them warm are definitely a good idea. In darkness or bad visibility the runner should choose a well lighted path. Reflectors should be attached on the sports clothing from the runner so that he can be noticed by cyclists and car drivers. Everyone who still prefers to run in the forest in autumn can be additionally equipped with a headlamp. The runner should pay attention to avoid crashes during bad weather. With a slow speed and a constant view on the ground, nothing can happen.
If it's cold outside, the running clothes should fit to the weather. Special function clothes protect the body from wind and cold and are made of water-repellent fabric to keep the rain off. This way, colds, muscle tensions and spasms can be prevented.
